Infected toe – will I ever be able to ride again?

Blister on toe from inappropriate footwear, should really have popped it but didn’t. Woke up this morning and it’s doubled in size so was forced to do surgery. 😯

Despite this, it’s still swollen and has now turned a purple bruise colour. Still hurting and can’t walk properly. 🙁

Any doctors in the house please? Or should I summon an ambulance?

As always, thank you so much. 🙂

WTFU.

For how many days crikey?

This theead is useless without pics!

Depends really – sounds infected tho so unless its improving tomorrow you might well need antibiotics for it.

was it leopardskin thighboots ?

It’s a proper pain that they don’t do half sizes 🙁

Amputate.

Up to the knee should sort it.

3 or maybe 4.

I prescribe Pimms after 12 oclock each day, fruit in the first glass, then just neat with ice. Continue until well.

its the only way to be sure.

can’t walk properly

S’ok. You’ll still be able to ride a bike.

Silly mare. Stop moaning and WTFU, or we’ll have to put you down.

Or is it ‘destroyed’? I can never remember. Is that only race horses?

“Destroyed’. Such a brutal term, in’t it?

First time I heard that, I thought I heard the bloke on the radio say ‘the horse was distraught’. I thought it was rather touching that they seemed so concerned about the horse’s feelings.

Depending on how miggle clarse you are, I think flip flops or Birkenstocks too.

Its only a toe, you have ten!!!!

Amputation, it’s the only cure, otherwise gangrene could set in, and it’s difficult to mask the smell…

Thanks for all the sympathy NOT!

Well, I managed a little pootle today but my feet were swelling in the heat. Boy was I glad to take them shoes off! Will see how it is tomorrow.

Scaredy – nah, no leopardskin. I’m a classy lady. 🙄

Flipflops? Good grief no way!

What c_g was wearing on the bike yesterday:

Those are just a wee bit higher than my current fave ones. 😉
